Wing size that matters?
Wing size that matters? Have you ever noticed wingspans of aircrafts, especially the new generation aircrafts' have been getting larger and larger? Do you really believe that "wing size matters”. Probably, one of the main reasons having a larger/longer wingspan on new generation aircrafts is just because they are much more fuel efficient even tough bigger wings means heavier aircraft. They create a great fuel efficiency because they are much more enabled to generate more powerful lift. According to the Boeing Company, their new 777X twin-engine aircraft will undercut its competitors in both fuel consumption and operating costs per seat. Firstly let’s begin with the fuel efficiency. In order to create a full efficiency they should be lighter and should be creating more aerodynamics. Well, traditionally bigger and longer wingspans mean heavier wings and aircrafts however new generation aircrafts have carbon-fiber composition wings. As this carbon-fiber composite equi...
